Warrior Tales explores how the idea of the warrior has evolved over time from the earliest examples known in literature up to present conceptions and expectations of today’s warriors. Discussions about chivalry, loyalty, honor, brutality and the place of the warrior as a role model within a cultural context will underlie discussions of all texts. Students and parents should be aware that texts, print as well as supplemental video, include honest portrayals of armed conflict and can, at times, include graphic language and violent images.
